I pulled my hair out for far too long looking for a solution to a related problem. No matter what I seemed to do with jqxDataAdapter I couldn’t get the drop down list to work. It would render with mouseover classes, but clicking it did nothing. My problem wound up being that I wasn’t properly including the required .js files (in my case jqxscrollbar.js). When I did, I could get away with (from a backbone.js view):
var types = [ { id: 6,name: ‘fred’ },{ id: 72,name: ‘wilma’ } ];
this.$(‘.types’).jqxDropDownList({
‘height’ : ’25px’
,’source’ : types
,’checkboxes’ : true
,’displayMember’ : ‘name’
,’valueMember’ : ‘id’
});
It’d be really nice if the dropdown list threw an exception if it needs to create a scrollbar but the scrollbar hasn’t been included.
